New Orleans knows how to deal with a hangover, and not just with more booze.

In addition to the go-to of perfectly greasy, egg-and-bacon-dripping breakfast sandwiches, here in New Orleans soups weigh in heavily on the map with pho, menudo, and yaka mein (aka Old Sober). The map is also full of non-breakfast items, because sometimes by the time you can seek a remedy, breakfast is no longer an option.

Here, without further delay, are the best hangover dishes in New Orleans, just in time for the start of Carnival season.
